  1. Leimac IDMU-P Series Lighting Controllers – Ultimate Control for Synchronized Lighting and Imaging

    Comments Off on Leimac IDMU-P Series Lighting Controllers – Ultimate Control for Synchronized Lighting and Imaging

    Multipix Imaging is pleased to promote an advanced range of new Leimac IDMU-P Series Lighting Controllers, lighting control solutions designed to deliver ultimate control for synchronized lighting and imaging in demanding machine vision applications.

    Key Features of the Leimac IDMU-P Series

    The programmable IDMU-P PWM controller delivers precise synchronization for lighting, strobe emission, and camera trigger output. This enables sharper, high-contrast images and easy setup for computational imaging.

    Modular design allows scalability up to 40 channels, providing optimal control for advanced inspection systems.  Benefits include consistent image quality, flexible lighting patterns, and efficient integration into complex machine vision setups. Ideal for high-performance industrial imaging, the IDMU-P series ensures reliable and customizable illumination for diverse applications.

    • Precise lighting and camera synchronisation via bidirectional trigger input/output, ensuring optimal timing between illumination and image acquisition

    • Scalable multi-channel architecture, supporting up to 40 lighting channels by combining base and edge units

    • Flexible voltage output options (12 V / 24 V) within the same system, reducing wiring complexity and improving system efficiency
    • Advanced programmable control, enabling multiple lighting patterns, emission sequences, delays, and intensities from a single trigger signal

    • GigE Vision and GenICam compliance, allowing standardised lighting control via machine vision software
    • LAN-based control and monitoring, simplifying setup, configuration, and system diagnostics
    • Compact DIN-rail mounting, ideal for control cabinet integration in industrial environments
    • Seamless Compatibility with MVTec Machine Vision Software

    Leimac is an official MVTec Software GmbH Technology Partner, and have ensured good compatibility between these new lighting controllers and industry-leading machine vision software such as MVTec HALCON and MVTec MERLIC.

    • GenICam and GigE Vision standards, the IDMU-P Series integrates smoothly with MVTec software environments, allowing lighting control to be directly incorporated into vision processing workflows.
    • Simplified system integration between lighting, cameras, and vision software
    • Reduced development time, with lighting parameters managed alongside image acquisition and processing
    • Improved inspection repeatability and reliability, driven by precise timing and software-controlled illumination

    As the trusted UK and Ireland distributor for both Leimac and MVTec Software, Multipix provides expert technical support and guidance to help customers design fully optimised, standards-compliant machine vision solutions.

  2. Machine Vision Imaging Software connects to Microsoft Kinect for creative 3D Vision solutions

    Leave a Comment

    MVTec have cleverly tested the Microsoft Kinect sensor with HALCON 10. The Kinect is a vision sensor developed for the Microsoft Xbox 360. It combines an RGB camera with an infrared structured light depth sensor.

    Due to the hardware independence of HALCON, it was possible to connect Kinect to HALCON by implementing a simple HALCON interface making use of the current beta version of Kinect’s open source driver. With HALCON’s standard calibration techniques, the depth image is transformed into metrical X, Y, and Z data. After this step, the whole functionality of the HALCON library is ready to be applied, especially all operators for 3D vision like the surface-based 3D matching.

    HALCON has a vast range of 3D vision tools which is helping customers to develop new and creative 3D solutions to applications such as bin picking, packaging and pallet inspection.

    If you would like to learn more contact Julie Busby on 01730 233332 or register to attend our free Technology Day, 24th March, where MVtec will explore the possibilities of HALCON 10 further.
